    Loli Wars

    Prelude
    : The "loli derail squad" (DYRE and evilneko) joins "The legal age discussions in OTC" thread (about OTC’s age of consent laws for drinking alcohol and having sex), starting a casual talk about lolis.

    The "lolis Not Suitable For Anything Ever (NSFAE)"
    wonderful posts thread is created, in which the loli derail squad posts
    loli images while other posters playfully criticize said pictures. This
    goes for a few pages as the pictures become creepier and creepier, as
    some concerned users point out. glennmagusharvey eventually locks the thread, mentioning users' protests while at it.

    Bob creates "Lolis / Lolicon (for real this time) (very NSFW)".
    At first there's a half-serious half-jokey conversation with questions
    and answers about the appeal of lolis, mingled with risqué jokes. By the
    second page the thread had turned completely non-serious and
    conversations about lolis continued (without pictures) well into page 4,
    until JG_Punk and Nyarly take snipes at each other respectively over the use of, and complaining about the use of, the QUALITY cabbage meme (unrelated to lolis). The thread is locked by glennmagusharvey, commenting that the thread wasn't heading in a right direction in the first place.

    Pandemonium: "That we can't have a topic discussing pedoph... lolicon without it getting locked (NSFW)" is created, this time the thread starts off with serious complaints about loli derails.

    Shortly after this, "The ponibooru servers"
    is created. Tension builds between pony and loli fans, as there's a
    (now mostly thumped) discussion about disliking My Little Pony,
    disliking lolis, and threadshitting.

    "Thread about something fandom specific"
    is created, complaining about the fate of the ponibooru servers thread
    and threadshitting in general. Derails and related rules are commented
    upon. At this point, the "Tension between IJBMers"
    is created, citing the previous events plus a few other unrelated ones,
    and for a while serves its purpose as a Wonderful Posts thread. "My Little Pony" is created as well, for (unrelated to these events) complaints about the show.

    "Thread about something fandom specific"
    derails into a discussion about loli derails, then into a discussion
    about what constitutes a loli (with pictures), then into a discussion
    about the thread having been derailed, to which various users express
    their disdain. INUH locks the thread.

    At around the same time, "Tension between IJBMers" derails (from
    wonderposting) into being about adding mods, then derails in general,
    loli derails specifically, and the forum's moderation, until finally
    delving into wonderposting again.

    evilneko then posts loli images in the "That we can't have a topic discussing pedoph... lolicon without it getting locked (NSFW)" thread, to which Vorpy objects, and a heated discussion sprouts between the two of them, to which INUH intervenes.
    This is followed by complaining about lolis, then threadshitting (as
    the thread had been declared to be about lolis, thus making the
    complaints threadshitting). The thread is de-declared to be about lolis,
    there's a short-lived converstaion about what should be done about
    loli-related posts through the whole forum, followed by shitposts (with
    pictures) about Chargeman Ken, explosions, Polandball, guro, Touhou,
    yaoi and eventually back to lolis, triggering
    a short counter-derail about gay porn as well as another discussion
    about loli derails and complaints about loli picspam, now even more
    heated with lots of insults and accusations flying around, which
    continue for two more pages. While a civil discussion about the appeal
    of lolicon does start, the thread is eventually locked by Cygan.

    Postlude: Cygan creates "Lolicon (NSFW due to inherent nature of discussion; no NSFW or explicit material posted here.) DLDR"
    (DLDR stands for "Don't Like, Don't Read"), to concentrate all the loli
    talk into one thread, and disallowing derails about lolicon pictures
    and its merits. No further criticisms or pictures are posted in that
    thread or elsewhere. Though short-lived and eventually derailed into
    guro, the thread held a civil discussion about lolicon and if it has a
    relation with pedophilia.

    Oh my god Night of the Shitpost was so much fun.


    Comparing penises in the shower. This was actually a copy/paste of an Escapist thread, not a legitimate question.

    Internet Treason

    Context: On July 30, Myrmidon creates "The This Troper page got locked and deleted", about how the TV Tropes article on This Troper (a series that mocks TVT and tropers). The conversation turns to the Something Awful thread about criticizing TV Tropes (which at the time was covering the same event) in which Chagen had been specially mocked. Soon enough the IJBM and SA threads began cross-posting to each other.

    Conflict
    : Chagen calls out the "traitors communicating with the enemy"
    and is immediately told to stop by various users, to which Chagen
    complains about SA's mockery on him. Right afterwards, the thread is locked by INUH.

    Shortly after, Everest creates "I want to join Something Awful now"
    and includes a disclaimer about not importing drama and another that
    allows for cross-posting with SA, provided it's civil. Chagen
    immediately posts about how the thread is making him snap, and follows
    the discussion by making replies about how SA is not worth it, a troll
    site, etc. He is once again told to stop.

    Around this time Chagen creates a thread lashing about everybody except
    him being allowed to be angry at things. The thread doesn't last long
    before being deleted.

    Chagen then posts in IJBMer Updates about leaving the forum for a few days, and a short lived discussion about this follows between him and GLORIOUSLeader (now mostly thumped).

    Back at "I want to join Something Awful now", Chagen apologizes for the drama. Some time after that (on August 1), he's banned for a month (this being his second offense).

    Consequently: Discussion about SA continues on "I want to join Something Awful now" continues, turns into cross-posting about Chagen and IJBM's rules, in turn prompting a discussion about making a ban system, which is then added to the rules thread. The thread then continued its merry way with very active, mostly unrelated discussions.
  • When in Turkey, ROCK THE FUCK OUT
    You should add the I Am Not Ready to Quit TVTropes Yet thread because it involved several rather important things (people quitting, renaming The Mario/Nakama, deleting Troper Tales).
  • That's TV Tropes drama, however.

    IJBM vs TVT vs SA

    Preamble: A referral bounce had been installed on TV Tropes causing all links clicked from and to Something Awful to redirect back (unless copy/pasted). On October 22th a thread is made on TV Tropes about this, which is then deleted. This is brought up by AnneBeeche on TV Trope's "Post Your Random Thoughts", a discussion about TV Tropes' policies gets started (now mostly self-thumped). AnneBeeche is then banned from TV Tropes indefinitely
    (she's unable to browse the site at all).

    Playout
    : On IJBM AnneBeeche creates "Hey, everybody! I've been banned! :D", the events related to IJBM occur as follows:

    • The ban is lamented.
    • Fast Eddie gets talked about.
    • There's criticism towards the TV Tropes forum and community.
    • Shichibukai gets talked about.
    • Fast Eddie's removes
      SA's involvement in creating Let's Plays on TVT's page on it, there's
      cheering on Cygan for reverting it as vandalism, and more criticism
      towards Fast Eddie for re-reverting and locking it.
    • ninjaclown posts on Ask The Tropers about the above deletion, also as vandalism. It gets deleted rather quickly.
    • Forzare also posts about the above (replicated here), pointing out that the deletion was done by an admin. The discussion is then locked by Fast Eddie.
    • There's talk about posting stuff similar to the above on TV Tropes to get banned in mass, going out in a blaze of glory.
    • Cygan
      is edit-banned. Posts are made commenting on it only being an edit ban,
      suggesting appealing it and volunteering for support when the appeal is
      done, perhaps getting banned for it.
    • The rest of the TV Tropes staff get talked about.
    • There are more comments about going out with a bang, both in support and against.
    • Icalasari creates "...Has anyone ever thought of BUYING TVTropes?", early on the majority of comments center around the difficulty of the task.
    • Everest asks everyone to calm down, and suggests taking it to PMs.
    • World of Warcraft gets talked about.
    • The PM conversation gets made. Many posters ask to be added to it. Running in parallel to the thread, the conversation centers around AnneBeeche's ban, Fast Eddie, SA and World of Warcraft.
    • Racism gets talked about.
    • AnneBeeche is unbanned from TV Tropes, Fast Eddie states that he'd thought she had come from SA to cause a fuss.
    • Comments about Fast Eddie's actions continue, now in the context of hasty, careless administrative actions.
    • Signed gets talked about.
    • There's some discussion about post reporting on TV Tropes, on how it's not done enough, or how it's done but is ineffective.
    • In response to one of Chagen's posts criticizing Signed, kyfhv posts a screencap of one of Chagen's posts on TV Tropes, which had been posted on Something Awful.
    • The Something Awful thread gets talked about (regarding things unrelated to these events), and suggestions to mock some of their posts get made.
    • INUH locks the thread. Shortly after, AnneBeeche and kyfhv are banned for importing/exporting drama.

    Posteriorly: GlennMagusHarvey adds a note on the rule thread about importing and exporting drama.

    On the activity page, AnneBeeche's ban gets talked about, and a small discussion gets made about how the rules should view talking about TV Tropes.

    vandro creates "Some people's whiny attitudes", about the attitudes surrounding criticism towards TV Tropes.
  • This whole Internet thing is crazy, ain't it?
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
  • Likes cheesecake unironically.
    On IJBM AnneBeeche creates "Hey,
    everybody! I've been banned! :D
    "

    Oh god, that thread. I still wonder whether I will be able to ever take her seriously again.
  • No rainbow star
    Yay I've been added to the Drama Chronicles!

    ...Wait...
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    > World of Warcraft gets talked about.

    I love how this just shows up in the midst of this with absolutely no relevance whatsoever.

    Oh by the way, can I get added to that legendary PM conversation?  I was curious even back then but between my own laziness and my being a mod and not wanting to cause a chilling effect on the conversation, I didn't mention it back then.
  • You can change. You can.
    Yeah, can I join again myself? I deleted it and I want to take the notification from my inbox >.>
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    I think UE has since fixed that bug, but I'm not sure how it applies if you've previously deleted it.
  • edited 2011-11-10 15:56:21
    I remember over-reacting a lot to that thread. Probably me venting my frustration about TVTropes, which I try not to insult too much, more than anything.

    Speaking of which, it might be cool to do this for TVTropes too, but that would probably count as importing drama or something.
  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    Is it me or is this basically "Chagen: The Thread"?
  • ^ "Chagen and Friends: The Thread" would be more accurate.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Not anymore.
  • You can change. You can.
    He may be banned, but the drama recorded in there is mostly Chagen-centric

    except for the last entry.

    also, that thread is as annoying as I remember it to be.

    The IRCs want you(r soul): irc.esper.net, #ijbm
    Juan: Notifications of replies to conversations you deleted should automagically stop from this point forward, any existing notifications you've gotten you can just disregard/nuke and they're gone
  • You can change. You can.
    Well, I don't get the notifications, but I still have an unread message in my inbox even though I've read all of my messages.
  • Likes cheesecake unironically.
    I have this too. Apparently it's a bug of Vanilla.

    actually, it's was a bug of the conversation plugin.  I can decrement the inbox counters manually though so that it shows the correct number of new messages though for anyone still affected by that, just let me know how many nonexistent messages you have

    It's a good derail.

    > implying IJBM doesn't derail threads as if it was second nature

    But seriously, PM me with the # of messages I need to adjust for a correct inbox count and I'll fix it. *goes to note this in the suggestions thread*
